Based on these data and the findings of large prospective trials, such as PROMISE and SCOT-HEART, CCTA has been definitively integrated into the routine clinical management of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) as the first-line diagnostic and prognostic method2,3. The ESC Guidelines on the management of stable CAD recommend CCTA with a Class I level of evidence4. However, relying only on anatomical information with CCTA has ...
